PRICE’S LOSS

THE DEAD PRESIDENT BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY TRIBUTES (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, May 10. (Received May 11, at noon.) Warm tributes to tlio memory of tho French President (M. Doumer) were paid by both Houses of Parliament. In tho Lords an address requesting the King to express on behalf of the House abhorrence of the crime and sympathy with tho Government and people of France in their grief was moved by Lord Hailsham. He said the whole world was shocked at the flews of tho murderous attack on M. Doumer and its fatal outcome. That a noble life given to public service should be struck down by the irresponsible hand of an assassin was a shock to the moral sense of the civilised community. The late President left behind him a memory of personal integrity, patriotism, and unflinching courage which could only deepen for the French people their sense of loss,- but which surely would be an inspiration to his country in days to come. Lords Ponsonby and Reading supported the motion. In the House of Commons a similar address was moved by Mr Stanley Baldwin and seconded by the Opposition Leader (Mr Lansbury). Both motions were unanimously approved in silence.
